1	The vision2377 of Isaiah3470 the son1121 of Amoz531 , which he saw2372 8804 concerning Judah3063 and Jerusalem3389 in the days3117 of Uzziah5818 , Jotham3147 , Ahaz271 , and Hezekiah3169 , kings4428 of Judah3063 .
			2	Hear8085 8798 , O heavens8064 , and give ear238 8685 , O earth776 : for the LORD3068 hath spoken1696 8765 , I have nourished1431 8765 and brought up7311 8790 children1121 , and they have rebelled6586 8804 against me.
			3	The ox7794 knoweth3045 8804 his owner7069 8802 , and the ass2543 his master's1167 crib18 : but Israel3478 doth not know3045 8804 , my people5971 doth not consider995 8712 .
			4	Ah1945 sinful2398 8802 nation1471 , a people5971 laden3515 with iniquity5771 , a seed2233 of evildoers7489 8688 , children1121 that are corrupters7843 8688 : they have forsaken5800 8804 853 the LORD3068 , they have provoked5006 0 853 the Holy One6918 of Israel3478 unto anger5006 8765 , they are gone away2114 8738 backward268 . [laden: Heb. of heaviness] [gone...: Heb. alienated, or, separated]
			5	Why should ye be stricken5221 8714 any more? ye will revolt5627 more and more3254 8686 : the whole head7218 is sick2483 , and the whole heart3824 faint1742 . [revolt...: Heb. increase revolt]
			6	From the sole3709 of the foot7272 even unto the head7218 there is no soundness4974 in it; but wounds6482 , and bruises2250 , and putrifying2961 sores4347 : they have not been closed2115 8804 , neither bound up2280 8795 , neither mollified7401 8795 with ointment8081 . [ointment: or, oil]
			7	Your country776 is desolate8077 , your cities5892 are burned8313 8803 with fire784 : your land127 , strangers2114 8801 devour398 8802 it in your presence, and it is desolate8077 , as overthrown4114 by strangers2114 8801 . [overthrown...: Heb. the overthrow of]
			8	And the daughter1323 of Zion6726 is left3498 8738 as a cottage5521 in a vineyard3754 , as a lodge4412 in a garden of cucumbers4750 , as a besieged5341 8803 city5892 .
			9	Except3884 the LORD3068 of hosts6635 had left3498 8689 unto us a very small4592 remnant8300 , we should have been1961 8804 as Sodom5467 , and we should have been like1819 8804 unto Gomorrah6017 .
			10	Hear8085 8798 the word1697 of the LORD3068 , ye rulers7101 of Sodom5467 ; give ear238 8685 unto the law8451 of our God430 , ye people5971 of Gomorrah6017 .
			11	To what4100 purpose is the multitude7230 of your sacrifices2077 unto me? saith559 8799 the LORD3068 : I am full7646 8804 of the burnt offerings5930 of rams352 , and the fat2459 of fed beasts4806 ; and I delight2654 8804 not in the blood1818 of bullocks6499 , or of lambs3532 , or of he goats6260 . [he goats: Heb. great he goats]
			12	When ye come935 8799 to appear7200 8736 before6440 me, who hath required1245 8765 this at your hand3027 , to tread7429 8800 my courts2691 ? [to appear: Heb. to be seen]
			13	Bring935 8687 no more3254 8686 vain7723 oblations4503 ; incense7004 is an abomination8441 unto me; the new moons2320 and sabbaths7676 , the calling7121 8800 of assemblies4744 , I cannot away with3201 8799 ; it is iniquity205 , even the solemn meeting6116 . [iniquity: or, grief]
			14	Your new moons2320 and your appointed feasts4150 my soul5315 hateth8130 8804 : they are a trouble2960 unto me; I am weary3811 8738 to bear5375 8800 them .
			15	And when ye spread forth6566 8763 your hands3709 , I will hide5956 8686 mine eyes5869 from you: yea, when ye make many7235 8686 prayers8605 , I will not hear8085 8802 : your hands3027 are full4390 8804 of blood1818 . [make...: Heb. multiply prayer] [blood: Heb. bloods]
			16	Wash7364 8798 you, make you clean2135 8690 ; put away5493 8685 the evil7455 of your doings4611 from before5048 mine eyes5869 ; cease2308 8798 to do evil7489 8687 ;
			17	Learn3925 8798 to do well3190 8687 ; seek1875 8798 judgment4941 , relieve833 8761 the oppressed2541 , judge8199 8798 the fatherless3490 , plead7378 8798 for the widow490 . [relieve: or, righten]
			18	Come now3212 8798 , and let us reason together3198 8735 , saith559 8799 the LORD3068 : though your sins2399 be as scarlet8144 , they shall be as white3835 8686 as snow7950 ; though they be red119 8686 like crimson8438 , they shall be as wool6785 .
			19	If ye be willing14 8799 and obedient8085 8804 , ye shall eat398 8799 the good2898 of the land776 :
			20	But if ye refuse3985 8762 and rebel4784 8804 , ye shall be devoured398 8792 with the sword2719 : for the mouth6310 of the LORD3068 hath spoken1696 8765 it .
			21	How is the faithful539 8737 city7151 become an harlot2181 8802 ! it was full4392 of judgment4941 ; righteousness6664 lodged3885 8799 in it; but now murderers7523 8764 .
			22	Thy silver3701 is become dross5509 , thy wine5435 mixed4107 8803 with water4325 :
			23	Thy princes8269 are rebellious5637 8802 , and companions2270 of thieves1590 : every one loveth157 8802 gifts7810 , and followeth7291 8802 after rewards8021 : they judge8199 8799 not the fatherless3490 , neither doth the cause7379 of the widow490 come935 8799 unto them.
			24	Therefore saith5002 8803 the Lord113 , the LORD3068 of hosts6635 , the mighty One46 of Israel3478 , Ah1945 , I will ease5162 8735 me of mine adversaries6862 , and avenge5358 8735 me of mine enemies341 8802 :
			25	And I will turn7725 8686 my hand3027 upon thee, and purely1253 purge away6884 8799 thy dross5509 , and take away5493 8686 all thy tin913 : [purely: Heb. according to pureness]
			26	And I will restore7725 8686 thy judges8199 8802 as at the first7223 , and thy counsellors3289 8802 as at the beginning8462 : afterward310 thou shalt be called7121 8735 , The city5892 of righteousness6664 , the faithful539 8737 city7151 .
			27	Zion6726 shall be redeemed6299 8735 with judgment4941 , and her converts7725 8802 with righteousness6666 . [her...: or, they that return of her]
			28	And the destruction7667 of the transgressors6586 8802 and of the sinners2400 shall be together3162 , and they that forsake5800 8802 the LORD3068 shall be consumed3615 8799 . [destruction: Heb. breaking]
			29	For they shall be ashamed954 8799 of the oaks352 which ye have desired2530 8804 , and ye shall be confounded2659 8799 for the gardens1593 that ye have chosen977 8804 .
			30	For ye shall be as an oak424 whose leaf5929 fadeth5034 8802 , and as a garden1593 that hath no water4325 .
			31	And the strong2634 shall be as tow5296 , and the maker6467 of it as a spark5213 , and they shall both8147 burn1197 8804 together3162 , and none shall quench3518 8764 them . [maker...: or, and his work]
